- Guardians of the Past - Major Update 1.2 - THE BATTLE OF THE BOTS! - 9 January 2020
Recently, we've been busy with looking at how we can improve Guardians Of The Past and one of the biggest requests that we had while developing it, was that people wanted the ability to play against AI-controlled BOTS!
